St Austell Clouded Yellow

Today's offering is a German style wheat beer made in Cornwall and named after a butterfly

 

 

 

Appearance:

Pale cloudy gold with large lasting head

Aroma:

Aroma is banana underpinned by caramel and vanilla with a faint soapy coriander smell

Taste:

Very sweet and full of vanilla at first and then some malt comes through and a lemon like sharpness. The finish strong dry and bitter but with a hint of banana's vanilla a touch of spice and a really earthy hoppiness.

Overall:

Not sure on this one, in some ways it is like a watery German wheat beer and in some ways it is much more complex than a German wheat beer. I think I will have to try some more to really work out if I like it. It is original if slightly over carbonated in my eyes. It is a summer beer for sure
